Arizonans loving New Orleans - Food was fabulous, jazz band was great and the boat ride on the Mississippi River was more than I expected. I would recommend all visitors to New Orleans take this excursion.

Nice trip - Nice trip with a lot of history of the boat and the surroundings. The steam engine of the boat is a cool place to know. I wish there is a tour guide explaining everything on it

This is a GREAT New Orleans Attraction! - The Steamboat Natchez Sunday Jazz Brunch combines great fun, yummy foods, and a historical lesson. Our group of four loved the whole experience. When you arrive , if you opted for the brunch, you are ushered into the dining room. It has lots of space and the waitstaff was super attentive. The breakfast food ranged from Southern-style biscuits and gravy to smoked salmon. King Cake was a bonus! The views were exceptionally good for photography. And there was so much to learn on this two -hour tour of the Mississippi!

Really nice tour - Very nice tour on the Mississippi River, very smoothly organized. We had a wonderful time having lunch while listening to the jazz band. Then we had time to explore the ship and enjoy the view, with explanations and jazz. This was really nice.

Give this a try! - We had an enjoyable time on the Steamboat Natchez today. The brunch was plentiful and good selections. Fun listening to the jazz band but it was difficult to hear the narration over the wind and people chatting around us. I recommend this activity when you visit New Orleans for a relaxing time and a different perspective of the city.

Brunch Rivercruise - The brunch is not worth the money, the food is not good. I recommend just paying for the cruise part and when the guide is done go enjoy the jazz band.
